Life After the Navigator

This story is about the life of Joey Cramer and of the movie "Flight Of The Navigator" Interspread with a TON of interesting tidbits about the movie itself is a human interest story. A story about a boy who became an actor who couldn't go back to "normal" life because of that. He got into a spot of trouble and had a tough time working his way out of it. By the end of this documentary movie, we find that the human spirit can get through ANYTHING whether it be getting bullied or being told vile things by a father or just making bad decisions and having to go through the human "system" for paying for those bad decisions.

I believe this is a truly uplifting journey and well worth seeing. I love the way some of the transitions were done in this movie as well.

This is a very sensitively handled documentary that takes you not only into the heart of the film, but also it's troubled star Joey Cramer.

Anyone who is a fan of the film will get so much out of this but the human story behind this and Downs also excellent Life After Flash also in this series , makes it so much more. It takes you on an emotional journey that looks at the havoc caused by addiction and the decisions it often causes to be made. By the end if you have dry eyes you must be an emotionless robot. Strongly recommend you see this beautiful documentary and hope for more in this series.

The story of a Navigator who lost his way.

Joe Cramer is a sympathetic and fascinating figure. His tale is sensational, but not sensationalized. His mistakes and choices are earnestly exposed, and I couldn't help but be caught up in his life. The same spark that made Joe so appealing in Flight of the Navigator still shines bright, he comes across as very likeable and easy to listen to.

Life After The Navigator explores not only Joe's travails but also the production of Flight of the Navigator. And neither aspect steps on the toes of the other. Lisa Downs weaves between the two with skill, and I look forward very much to her next film, Life After Atreyu. (Speaking of which, Joe reveals a detail about The Neverending Story here that I had never heard before. He actually appears in that film twice, at least one shot of him is definitely not one you'd expect.)

The Navigator's journey is not over. I hope Joe finds nothing but success is his endeavors.

After watching this documentary i felt it really explored the world of addiction and how it can change someones life. Yes,, I'm a huge fan of the movie, but what really spoke to me was the journey of someone struggling to overcome their inner demons.I've been there so can relate.

This documentary takes you on a really human journey of where life can lead you and ultimately is a tale of redemption. Its filled with great anecdotes and interviews about the movie Flight Of The Navigator. But is so much more. take the time to watch it. You wont be disappointed. The director really cares about the subject matter and if you are not at least quietly crying by the end, you have a heart of stone.
